The Annual Privacy and Security Conference is recognized as one of the top tier events in North America. Anyone working in the information privacy and security fields will benefit from the speakers, discussions and networking at the conference.

Hosted by the Province of British Columbia, along with its partners and sponsors, the Annual Privacy and Security Conference is renowned for its outstanding content, world class experts and excellent peer to peer networking opportunities with industry and government leaders.

The Privacy and Security Conference Committee is pleased to extend an invitation to those working within the broad privacy and security communities to submit papers on their area of expertise. Of particular interest are briefs on emerging issues and cutting-edge subjects suitable for presentation in either:
